|And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
|And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
|We have been completely confident for some time now that you are the Holy One of God.
|We have been completely confident for some time now that you are the Holy One of God."
|Almost all early texts, including P75, Alexandrinus, Vaticanus, Ephraemi Rescriptus and Bezae Cantabrigiensis all read "Holy One of God." P66, considered the most unreliable of the oldest texts (due to containing 5 times as many copy errors as p75), reads "Christ, the Holy One of God." The phrase "Christ, the Son of the Living God" appears to have been added to Ephraemi Rescriptus by a late corrector, but the condition of the page makes it difficult to determine for sure. "Christ, the Son of the Living God" appears in the content of the text for the first time in the Byzantine texts of the ninth century, so confidence is very high among scholars that "Holy One of God" is the original phrase.

Peter could have used the present tense, but he chose the perfect tense, which is used frequently in the NT of an act that took place in the past but has ramifications as though they happened just now. The phrase "for some time now" relates the basic force of this construction.
